Nikon NIKKOR Z 24mm f/1.8 S 24mm

78.2 Professional Score
24mm 16 Nikon Z Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

The weather-sealed, optically stabilized NIKKOR Z 24mm f/1.8 S pairs a constant f/1.8 aperture with Nano Crystal Coat for edge-to-edge sharpness and contrast in poor light. Its stepping motor drives near-silent autofocus and the 9-blade diaphragm renders smooth bokeh, all in a portable 450g build. This lens is best for environmental portrait and wedding photographers who need a reliable wide-angle prime for dim venues and harsh conditions.
